Compare the 2015 GMC Sierra against Its Top Rivals – F-150 & RAM 1500

There has been a lot of talk in the light-duty truck segment this year. Between the Ford F-150’s new aluminum body structure, to the RAM 1500 EcoDiesel engine, how are you supposed to know what is legitimate value and what is just advertising.

Let’s take a quick look at how the 2015 GMC Sierra squares off against its competition from RAM and Ford.

The World’s Only Wireless Router with 20-Inch Wheels

These days, one of the most valuable tools for your truck is your mobile device. Whether that’s your smartphone or your tablet, it can act as your source for directions, your owner’s manual, or your how-to guide for changing a tire. It’s the power of the Internet in the palm of your hand.

The 2015 GMC Sierra offers 4G LTE capability, creating its own Wi-Fi hotspot wherever you go. You won’t have to use up your data plan to surf the net or search for the nearest burger joint. The Ram 1500 and Ford F-150, however, haven’t quite reached this level of technology yet, leaving the GMC Sierra as your only source for travelling wireless service.

The 2015 GMC Sierra vs. the Ford F-150

The newest F-150 might like to market its new aluminum body structure, making it lighter than ever before. But that still doesn’t bring it close to the 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 in terms of power or efficiency. The Sierra offers the best V8 fuel economy of any full-size pickup, using only an estimated 10.2 litres of fuel for every 100 highway kilometers.

That’s efficiency—but what about power? Once again, the mighty 6.2L V8 under the hood of the 2015 Sierra leaves the new F-150 warming the bench at the jobsite. The Sierra achieves a maximum of 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, leaving the F-150 to sputter in the 300s (385hp/387lb-ft).

When you need a truck to spend more time pulling payload and less time at the pump, count on the 2015 GMC Sierra 1500.

When it comes to light-duty trucks, the 2015 GMC Sierra sets the standard. What do we mean by standard?

GMC’s CornerStep rear bumper

Trailering equipment

Projector-beam headlamps with LED signature lighting

Automatic locking rear differential for improved traction

Each of these of these features that make a truck practical, and not just powerful, are standard on the new Sierra 1500. That’s more than we can say about its big-horned rival.
